The headline, The Strikers Beaten" which
began to appear last week, the 'longshore-
mems strike drew near its natural death, was
somewhat significant. The strikers had seemed
10 have n monopoly of the beating business for
time, but they take their turn as the victims
in II general defeat. II is hardly likely now that
any strike in which the beating-and-poundng
method is adopted will ever result in any other
way. Public sympathy usually leaves the or
ganized worknen and goes out to the "scabs'
during these contests. The men who beat
another because he doesn't choose to adopt
their system belong to a stage Of the world S
history two or three centuries back. They are
out of gear in the United States and the nine
teenth century.

W. Va Thence he worked from point to

and finally located in tins city He has twice
represented Union No. l3, of Boston, in the
council of the International, and was chosen
secretary Of the latter; he was also active in
the organization Of unions in places near
Boston, his experience in various cities max
ing his opinion valuable. When the knights
of Labor began to organize he took a very
active part, and was charter member of their
first assembly in Boston. He belongs to other
charitable and benevolent organizations,
chiefly such as have relation to the rights and
duties OF laborers.

advocated its adoption in every practicable

He next turned his attention to cooperative
building associations, and has been instru.
mental in the erection Of many houses upon
that plan. But his well known tenacity of
purpose Is best illustrated by his success in
the insurance branch of the Typographical
union, of which he may be called the creator
At first view his scheme was pronounced
cbimerical; but he worked on against all man

he is quite fluent and a very interesting
speaker For fifteen years he has worked on
The Boston Herald, and is highly esteemed
by employers and associates.
This sketch is the more interesting at this
time because his plan is being introduced so
rapidly into New York, where, within one
year, some 800 certificates of insurance have
been issued. Printers are such a generous
